Cool! I was wondering how all the extra parts in mine looked when done, very nice. 👍

If you will accept a bit of advice, when you complete the cabin "shell" that goes into the fuselage halves, be prepared to do a lot of trimming and fitting before closing up. On mine, the sides of the fuselage wanted to push the roof of the cabin down and also hit the edges of the windscreen opening and that left a big gap on top. I finally got it acceptable fit, but even then, I wish I had cut more away because the cabin roof does not quite fit flush.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take care of it 🙂
I build a lot of Revell kits in the past and the fitting was different with every model. I have got everything between pretty good and horrible. It's always like a mysterious box.

I'm sure you will do well with all that Revell experience. 👍 The good news is that other than the cabin shell, the rest fits OK (ish) even the windscreens. But if you want doors closed, also be prepared to do some surgery on them.

Looking good! 👍 Have fun with the main glass and fiddly rotor bits (I didn't 😄)

Qwertzel
Thanks, I will try my best

Looking good, following. 👍

Looking good indeed! How did (or will) you paint the inside of the air intakes?

John is right with his comment, the cabine ceiling is a problem. I decided to keep the pilot door frames on the inside out for the moment. Without them the fitting seems to be quite good.

Qwertzel
Thanks Andre! I already painted the air intakes with my airbrush. Now I will mask everything off so the paint is save for the yellow.
